A daemon is a program that can be run directly or in the background and
is supposed to listen for certain 'signals' to allow it to be 'remote
controlled'. A Windows Service is a program specifically designed to
be executed and respond to command from the Service Control Panel in
Windows. It won't work as non-service.
In other word. Most of the time you can turn a normal Unix/Linux apps
into a daemon simply running it in the background and pointing his
stdin/stdout to files but you CANNOT turn a normal Windows program
into a service (well, sometimes you can use some 'wrapper').
